America's Road to Wealth

Within minutes, Abel had these things figured out.

He also figured out how to deal with it.

"Let Allen and the others consider whether they can let the rats solve these things by themselves. For example, let them handle the photos in the New Yorker."

As the saying goes, snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. It would be nice to let the mice try it out for themselves.

If it doesn't work, there won't be much loss. If it can be done, they still have to do it.

"If that doesn't work, then mix the water. Let other underground rats be exposed together, distract the public's attention, and let The New Yorker act as the bell ringer. Let's look at Newhouse later. Dare you? Dare to keep ringing the bell."

David Jones nodded, "Understood, I'll notify Allen right away."

"Go ahead."

David turned to call, while Abel continued to ponder.

I'll be honest with you about what happened today.

Abel had been mentally prepared for this very early on.

I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet.

The Zippertons are so powerful, they are the most successful American political family after the 21st century.

Still, the incident on Eppo revealed some truth. This means that if you do too many bad things, there will always be traces no matter how you hide them.

But this matter is actually very unimportant, and even the Newhouse family's counterattack is actually unimportant.

In this conflict, all Abel could suffer was probably losing a little face.

If it is too high, it will be impossible to poach "VOGUE" magazine, or it will be impossible to poach it successfully.

Otherwise, Abel would have nothing to lose.

He has achieved great success, and in a very short period of time, he has transformed from a chess piece to a chess player.

Chess players and chess pieces are treated very differently.

There is a high probability that a chess piece will be discarded, even if it was once useful or even a king or queen in the chess game.

As a chess player, the most you can do is lose one game. If you have to keep losing and have no capital to lose, then you will be considered a real failure if you fall from a chess player to a chess piece.

After this happened.

Abel's main consideration was whether this matter would be an attempt or contact by a certain consortium or force to attack him.

A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.

The decline of a consortium sometimes depends on a trivial matter.

He had to think carefully about this.

Of course.

It is also possible that this is really just a small thing, a revenge launched by Shiyi Newhouse against him.

In this world, anything is possible.

Fortunately, Abel believed.

No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, as long as you can live, as long as your talent has not disappeared.

Then there is nothing to be afraid of.

This is why he attaches so much importance to his personal safety.

It should be noted that Smith Capital and Rock Security were basically two companies established at the same time.

Abel asked David, who came back from the phone call, to remember to pay attention to this matter at all times.

If there is any progress, notify yourself immediately.

Abel himself put the matter behind him for the time being and continued to enjoy life.

The "life" here naturally includes Avril Lavigne and Britney who arrived later.

In Abel's positioning, these two different types of singers are a "pair".

If you want to have children, have them together, if you want to raise them, raise them together, and if you want to be with Abel together, then be with them together.

Avril Lavigne because of yesterday afternoon and last night.

Before Xiao Tiantian came, she had been suffering the output alone.

By the time Britney arrived the next day, the punk girl was already unable to fight.

She needs rest. She became the newly arrived Xiao Tiantian, like Avril Lavigne yesterday, who endured the firepower alone for a day.

It's almost evening.

Abel, who had enjoyed enough "life", let go of Britney who was so tired that she rolled her eyes.

It was the same position as yesterday, but on the private beach in the distance, Abel saw Avril Lavigne, who was full of energy and playing in the water on the beach after a day's rest.

He ignored the punk girl. Instead, he listened to David's report on the "rat incident" in New York.

"Last night. The rats sneaked into the residence of the New Yorker reporter. But the reporter was not found. The reporter should have been protected by Newhouse, just like his photos."

Abel nodded after hearing this.

He felt that anything he could think of could be thought of by Newhouse.

It's understandable that the mice couldn't complete the task.

Fortunately, there is another solution, which Newhouse cannot crack so easily.

"The American Sun, the New York Times, and newspapers owned by Bloomberg all launched corresponding reports today on underground gangs in New York."

David Jones said: "This allows the relevant reports in The New Yorker today to be temporarily submerged in the same type of news and not to attract too much attention."

This is to confuse the water so that people cannot see the truth at the bottom of the pool.

This method is not as easy to crack as the previous one.

This method is also the favorite method used by some forces when conducting crisis public relations.

For example, when some news occurs that is not suitable for the public to pay too much attention to.

Just break some eye-catching news, preferably news about the entertainment industry that the public is more concerned about.

Divert people's attention to other things.

In this way, you can avoid the public's attention and focus it on yourself.

Many people do this, ranging from individuals and companies to large existing organizations and even... countries.

"Keep watching." Abel said softly after listening to the report.

David clicked yes again.

And Abel knew that if this matter ended here and did not expand further.

There should be no one behind the Newhouse family.

It should just be a small revenge from Newhouse.

If there is any means later, there may be more than one Newhouse.

Who is the one?

Oilers? Newhouse has a good relationship with the Oilers, unlike the Hearst family.

Rockefeller, Morgan, a certain East Coast consortium, a wealthy family, or other Wall Street giants, or other American giants.

Anyway, it's possible.

Even his own allies are not impossible.

In this country, the only one who could fully trust Abel was himself.

Even Alex and Alexander could only gain most of Abel's trust, not all of it.

But in the present moment, when nothing is revealed yet, when everything is still under the water.

Abel also knew that he could only wait quietly at this time.

Waiting for the other party to take action, or simply not having this other party, everything is just what he thinks about.

"call……"

Exhaling softly, Abel took a few steps forward.

He looked at Avril, who was wearing sunglasses, long straight chestnut hair, fair skin, and beautiful big eyes. She was lying on the beach chair and ignored him as he arrived.

Abel saw a bottle of sunscreen beside her.

It was approaching evening at this time, and the sun was not so bright.

She didn't look like she was wearing sunscreen either.

Abel took the sunscreen with a smirk on his face and opened it with the bottle mouth facing down.

"呲呲呲——"

"Ah! Bastard! You are crazy! The sun has set, why are you wearing sunscreen!"

Avril, who was covered in sunscreen, turned into a little wild cat with fried hair, jumped up and clawed at Abel.

"Ha ha--"

Abel laughed triumphantly and ran away, only to hear two "呲呲呲-" sounds. This time, the sunscreen directly hit her fairly good career line, making Avril scream and rush towards her.

He threw down the bottle, turned around and ran towards the sea, with Avril hotly pursuing him. After Abel released the water for her to catch, the two of them fell on the beach and rolled into a ball.

As they rolled, the clothes on the two of them fell off.

An hour.

As the sun set, under the sun umbrella on the private beach, Abel hugged Avril tightly and lay on the lounge chair. The two of them were only covered with a large white bath towel, Abi Ajiani and beach shorts, which were casually discarded on the beach. superior.

"Cold?"

Feeling Avril clinging to his embrace, Abel tightened his embrace and pulled the towel upwards. The sea breeze was indeed a little chilly at this time.

After all, it’s still January, and it’s snowing heavily in New York at this time.

"Kind of."

Under the development of Abel, Avril became more and more beautiful and charming, with a sweet smile of satisfaction on her face.

Today she rested all day, and Britney took her place and worked all day.

After escaping for a day, the punk girl was very energetic in the battle just now.

Even now after the battle, he is still very energetic.

She rested her chin on Abel's shoulder, stretched out her little hand, rubbed the prickly stubble on Abel's chin, and spoke softly.

"Then, let's go back to the house, don't catch a cold." Abel lifted off the towel, sat up, picked up the beach shorts from the beach and put them on.

Avril was directly wrapped in a bath towel, revealing a pair of slender and straight long tui, a pair of charming eyes, and picked up Abi Akiani on the beach with a rippling look.

In Abel's somewhat joking expression, he gave Abel a slap in the face, took his arm, and walked toward the house under the sunlight.

"I really want to be here like this forever, my God, it's so wonderful!"

"Little greedy cat! It seems that three meals a day can't satisfy your current appetite. I remember that at the beginning, you emphasized to me that this was just a transaction."

Abel smiled and teased her: "There is a famous saying by a female writer in the East, and it is indeed true."

Avril originally wanted to refute what he said before, but after hearing what he said next, she curiously asked: "What kind of famous quote?"

"The female writer said that there is a passage to the soul in a woman. If this passage is used by men too often, the woman's soul will be occupied by men."

"Yes. It's the passage just now."

"Fake~ But what he said seems to make sense. I was forced to walk through this passage, and my soul was opened to you!"

Avril was stunned for a moment, she understood, and answered coquettishly.

Avril, who has an outgoing and generous personality and never admits defeat, was very pure even before she met Abel.

But her soul is not as pure as her body.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, a girl dares to yell all kinds of "dick" names at boys of the same age.

It's impossible to understand such dirty talk.

She lightly tapped Abel's arm, hugged his arm tightly, snuggled on his shoulder and cooed.

The two later enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

Britney didn't get up to eat, she was too tired.

It has been going on continuously, with various Christmas performances, concerts, New Year's Eve performances, New Year's concerts, etc. etc. not stopping.

After being busy for almost a month, I finally came here to take a rest.

As a result, I was caught and output for a long time before I could rest.

Now I was so tired that I couldn't even get up, so naturally I couldn't eat.

But not hungry either.

If you put hundreds of milliliters of high calories into your stomach every day, how can you feel hungry?

After dinner, Abel sat on the sofa, with Avril in his arms wearing only a small suspender belt and sports hot pants, which perfectly showed off her long tui. While you and I were eating rainbow ice cream, we were watching TV.

Buzz——

The phone on the table vibrated.

"Take it—"

Avril saw that it was her mobile phone, handed Rainbow Ice to Abel, and asked him to hold it first. She leaned over and reached for the mobile phone, unlocked it and started reading.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Avril's face that originally had a sweet smile turn stinky and look unhappy, Abel asked softly.

"The organizers of the Grammy Awards have announced the first list of performers. The list includes Alessandro Sanz, Nellie, Dave Matthews Band, Alan Jackson and the Train Band, Alicia Keith, without me!”

Avril said unhappily.

This year, some DreamWorks Music singers who are running their own company will appear in the Grammys, which will increase the talent of the singers and increase the gold content of related aspects.

In the case of Avril Lavigne, DreamWorks Music operates the Best Newcomer Award.

The nominations for the Best Newcomer Award are out, and Avril Lavigne is among them.

But her name did not appear on the list of guests performing at the party.

This means that Avril Lavigne's operation in this area has failed.

"Haha, what did I think it was? Don't worry. How could it be without you? Don't worry. I'll call you later to ask."

Abel smiled and said: "The album "LetGo" is undoubtedly very successful. It may win the Grammy for Best Album next year. In pop music, the market is always the most persuasive yardstick. You are the most important to the market." , can be described as "explosion"."

"Your pure image is a rarity in the turbulent American pop music scene. On the surface, you only need to have a quiet persona, and besides singing, you must achieve perfect scores in terms of affinity. Don't be funny or individual. But at the same time, In the work, stick to the punk style on stage, stick to the explosive voice.”

"This very contradictory combination is the favorite of today's listeners, and even other entertainment enthusiasts."

"Your good friend and sister, she relied on this contradictory beauty to reach the top directly."

"The difference is that Britney takes the contradictory route of sexy and charming and sweet and childish. You are beautiful and innocent and punk explosive. The route is the same, but the way of expression is different. But the eyeballs and love that can be attracted are the same."

What Abel said is a kind of packaging personality created by DreamWorks Music for Avril Lavigne, a newcomer in the music scene.

That's right, cosplaying Britney Spears.

However, the two people's personalities present different contradictions to the public.

In parallel time and space, Avril Lavigne is a complete punk.

The music is punk, the clothes are punk, and even the personality is full of punk.

She did find success, becoming somewhat of a punk godmother.

But to be honest, her influence at her peak was far inferior to that of Britney or her contemporary Taylor.

Let’s put it this way, when Avril was at her most popular, she was not as popular as them in North America.

On the contrary, she is more popular in Asia because her image is more in line with Asian aesthetics.

Especially in China, I don’t know how many Chinese people spent their youth listening to her pirated songs.

In terms of popularity, Avril Lavigne's popularity in China may be greater than her popularity in North America at the same time.

Because of the style of punk, the audience is not as popular as the masses.

But she can write her own songs and has strong creative talent.

Maybe Avril Lavigne can’t even become popular.

In this time and space.

After combining Abel's opinions, music production boss David Geffen designed another route for Avril Lavigne.

This route requires Avril to be as out of the ordinary as possible in her musical style.

No matter what punk, rock and heavy metal, the music style is like her character, try to present it as much as possible.

But other than when I'm performing, when I'm in the spotlight and in front of the public media.

David asked Avril Lavigne to act like Brooke Shields.

Brooke Shields is a generational beauty in Hollywood.

Regardless of whether she is a beautiful girl on the inside, at least she is a beautiful girl in terms of image and personality, and therefore she has gained the love of a large number of Americans.

David Geffen asked Avril Lavigne to learn from Brooke Shields in front of the media.

Just try to be pure, simple, and approachable, and show the beauty of the white lotus.

It creates a contradictory feeling that the music is very dark, but the person is actually very white.

Try to create a dual personality.

Create an alternative, different "Britney" in other music fields.

This is David Geffen's attempt.

After listening to David Geffen's opinion, Abel gave the world's richest GAY guy a thumbs up.

Avril Lavigne, with a pure white lotus in front of her, singing explosive rock songs.

On the surface, she is "Saito Asuka playing drums", but on the inside, she is a little girl who screams at the output of herself.

It’s exciting to think about.

to this requirement.

The punk girl refused at first.

If she follows this route, she will need to act in front of the media, and even in life.

This kind of life that is not self-centered may be very tiring, and it is not in line with her personality.

Even because of this, she couldn't have an affair with Abel, or even have an affair.

And her real character is completely opposite to this kind of persona. She is a true punk girl who has loved rock and roll since she was a child.

But she wanted to be popular so much.

She also wanted to have the light of her good friend and bestie Britney.

Coupled with Abel's strong demands and threats, if she didn't agree, he would make her unable to get off every time.

Avril just reluctantly obeyed.

On October 11 last year, after performing on stage during the September 11th National Performing Arts Show.

On December 1, Avril Lavigne's first album "LetGo" was released.

This album is a little different from the one in parallel time and space.

Avril Lavigne appears in the MV. From her clothes to her makeup, and even the surrounding scenes, she is dressed up like a pure lady.

Combined with her height and tender appearance, she creates an image of an older lolita.

But when this older girl opened her mouth to sing and perform, a violent rock sound and rhythm broke out.

This is an approach that imitates Britney’s contradictory beauty, but takes a different route.

Once launched, it was fully promoted by DreamWorks Music.

With support from Smith Media.

In a short period of time, it achieved great success.
